Symptoms typically begin with weakness and tingling in the extremities that quickly spread.Īccording to the CDC, there have been 38 cases of TTS within 15 days of vaccination, and four resulting deaths. Symptoms typically appear four to 30 days after vaccination and can include persistent headaches, visual changes, abdominal pain, chest pain, leg pain, coldness in limbs and acute bruising or bleeding. There have been 100 reports of Guillain-Barré, and one resulting death. The Moderna vaccine has been given to more than 12 million people. Rare adverse events after the Moderna vaccine have included Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare autoimmune neurologic disorder that includes weakness and paralysis in the limbs and muscles, and thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), which causes blood clots and low platelet levels. Serious side effects with the COVID-19 vaccine are rare, and the CDC has determined that the benefits outweigh the risks. Side effects from the second shot can be more severe than the first, but this is not always the case.
To reduce pain or discomfort from the shot, exercising the arm or using a cool, damp cloth can be effective. It is not recommended that medication to address side effects be taken beforehand. The use of over-the-counter medication to address these side effects can be used after vaccination.
